I am starting my fourth week in the prison system and already in my third prison. This is my first time inside and I must say, stumbling across About Time has made things so much better. The open, honest, raw and relatable articles are real gems and resonate hugely.

I felt compelled to contribute so here follows a few submissions for your consideration.

About Time

There is a great paper ‘About Time’,

Which is free and won’t cost you a dime,

With articles galore,

It is never a bore,

And provides a refreshing angle on crime!

Gotta Get Through This

First time in jail, and last time I swear,

Prison and bail, a total nightmare.

Missing family, my freedom and work,

I made one mistake, now feel like a jerk.

But I am lucky, now let me explain,

Loved ones stand by me, that helps keep me sane.

They know the person, not based on a crime,

But years together, and love over time.

So I can smile, with them as my light,

And all the while, I have them in sight.

Just that one reason, can get me through this

Season to season, it is them I miss.
